### 2.2.4 Date-Received

This line (formerly "Received") is in a legal USENET date format. It records the date and time that the article was first received on the local system. If this line is present in an article being transmitted from one host to another, the receiving host should ignore it and replace it with the current date. Since this field is intended for local use only, no site is required to support it. However, no site should pass this field on to another site unchanged.
